The sales department had been dysfunctional for too long, a complete overhaul was necessary. 

The factory director got angry too and retorted, “And you really think you can sell machine tools like this? You’ve got no troops, what battle are you fighting?”

Gu Ye’s eyes lit up, this was exactly the perfect opening he wanted. 

He enthusiastically threw an arm around the director’s shoulder and another around the secretary’s, while smiling broadly. 

“Actually, there’s something else I need to discuss with you two. Let’s take this to the office, and we can have a private talk!”   

“Why can’t you say it here?” 

The director squirmed, uncomfortable with the physical familiarity. 

The secretary was the same, equally stiff, mirroring his unease. 

Both men were in their fifties, with conventional mindsets. They found that Gu Ye’s casual behavior was rather disrespectful. 

Moreover, they also didn’t want to appear too close to Gu Ye in front of the factory workers, as it might cause misunderstandings. 

But Gu Ye held them firmly, his grip was strong as he dragged the two of them towards the office. 

With half willing and half reluctant, they followed Gu Ye in the end. 

Gu Ye turned his head and said to Chu Qiao, “Make a few more dishes tonight, we will have guests.” 

“Okay.” 

Chu Qiao replied. 

Then she turned to Bandit Ma who was still lying limp on the ground. 

Chu Qiao raised a fist and lifted her foot, pretending to stomp. 

The woman flinched, and instinctively wrapped her arms around her head. 

“Don’t hit my wife!” 

The scrawny husband, having finally crawled out of the flower bed, stumbled over in a pitiful state. 

Despite his wretched appearance, he showed a shred of decency, as he threw himself over his wife and glaring defiantly at Chu Qiao, as if ready to die for her.  

Chu Qiao had only meant to scare the woman, not actually beat her. 

Watching this mismatched pair, one brawny, one frail, who clearly loved each other despite appearances, Chu Qiao felt a little moved in her heart. 

Happiness truly was something only the person in the relationship could judge. 

Just like this pair of couples, outsiders might see nothing compatible about them, a weak man and a domineering woman. Moreover, they were both flawed in character. 

But their affection was real, the woman protected the man, and the man would protect the woman too. That fact alone made them better than the other couples.  

“Get lost already, if I catch either of you still loitering around the sales department again, then I will break your legs!” 

Chu Qiao shook her fist threateningly.  

The husband clutched his head tightly and quickly said, “Yes yes… we’re leaving!” 

Between Gu Ye and his wife, one was fiercer than the other. 

There was no way he would still stay around. Even his wife had never suffered such a big loss before.  

Chu Qiao snorted proudly and shouted at the onlookers who were whispering to each other, “What are you all looking at? Don’t you have work to do?”

The crowd immediately dispersed. 

After witnessing Chu Qiao’s fierce temper firsthand, no one wanted to become her next punching bag. So they had better hide as they couldn’t afford to provoke her. 

Once the crowd was gone, Xuan Hongxia let out a long sigh of relief and said with a smile, “Xiao Chu, you scared me to death. I didn’t expect you to be so good at fighting, no wonder you’re not afraid of that Bandit Ma.” 

Chu Qiao also smiled, “I’m strong. Back in the countryside, I even plowed the fields.”

Xuan Hongxia looked her up and down in disbelief. 

Seeing Chu Qiao’s thin, twig-like arms, it was hard to imagine how someone so slim could possibly manage to plow fields.

It was just too unbelievable. 

“Xiao Chu, you really should talk to Section Chief Gu. He can’t run things all by himself. No matter how capable your man is, he still needs people under him to get things done. And those nine people, let me tell you, they all have strong connections. Otherwise, they would never have gotten into the sales department in the first place.” 

Xuan Hongxia was speaking from the heart. 

In their machine tool factory, those who could get the office job usually had some kind of backing. 

Departments like sales and purchasing were excellent positions, with a lot of extra income. Those positions were reserved for those with serious backing. 

Plenty of eyes were fixed on those departments, green with envy.  

Chu Qiao shook her head. “Sis, I don’t meddle in Gu Ye’s work, and I don’t understand it anyway. Whatever he does, I support him. And besides, what difference does it make if those nine people stay or go? They don’t work anyway. Just seeing them is annoying, so it might as well just kick them out!”
